June 13, 20214 yr Author comment_5954993 Bronson Reed saying Santos Escobar should've "stayed in his lane" in the Cruiserweight division instead of challenging for the North American Championship encapsulates everything that's wrong with this company.
June 13, 20214 yr comment_5954994 Haven't watched NXT in a while, but I'm gonna do it to pay respects to Xia Li, Legado del Fantasma and Raquel Gonzalez. That main event is gonna suck so much ass.

Am I the only one who sees absolutely nothing in Karrion Kross?

Am I the only one who sees absolutely nothing in Karrion Kross? Bubba, NXT will never have a five way going under 25 minutes. Not in this economy, at least. And no, basically no one is seeing anything valuable in KK. His title reign absolutely stank, and he is getting punked by dudes half his size on the mic with zero clapback. Either they are playing a "dude sucks but management is behind him" on purpose or he is getting hit!
June 14, 20214 yr comment_5954998 Imagine how good WWE would be if they put the same effort they use to relive the 90s into literally anything else.
June 14, 20214 yr Author comment_5954999 MSK does nothing for me. Is it just me? I mean, their ringwork is fine, but I have no idea who the fuck they are as characters or why I should care about them. (Not a problem unique to them in NXT/WWE, but still...)
June 14, 20214 yr Author comment_5955004 That feels like it ended just as it was getting started. Poor Mercedes Martinez.
June 14, 20214 yr Author comment_5955005 This post-match segment is the shits - it died an instant death with Mercedes' obvious height advantage and cheesy screams.
June 14, 20214 yr comment_5955008 I hate that there is no rewind on Peacock live shows. I came in towards the beginning of the Legado del Fantasma trios and loved it. Li/Martinez was a great pace and a great length. I think that's the best Li has looked, impressed with both. https://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2021/06/nxt-takeover-in-your-house-61321.html
June 14, 20214 yr Author comment_5955011 Match wasn't pretty, but it sure was fun. Wrong guy won IMO.
June 14, 20214 yr comment_5955012 Great Knight performance in that match, made me interested in a match gimmick that hasn't interested me in a long time.

June 14, 20214 yr comment_5955017 Certainly not you, that was fucking terrible. Kross is awful. Gargano, Cole, and O'Reilly have been played out for at least two years, and Pete Dunne can't be expected to carry 4 people.
June 14, 20214 yr Author comment_5955021 I'll honestly admit I was distracted during the last two matches. I probably missed a good one between Raquel Gonzales and Ember Moon, but what flashes I saw of the main event did little to reel me in. 26 minutes ago, Blehschmidt said: Kross is awful.

This pretty much sums up professional wrestling from about 2005-present. A bunch of bland dudes without any character or charisma doing a bunch of spots to "this is awesome!" chants. The Johnny Gargano's & Adam Cole's of the world. Or... pretty much all of AEW.
June 14, 20214 yr comment_5955027 speaking of nerds I know he is on a media call and has to put things over but wrestling was never as uncool as it is now imo
June 14, 20214 yr comment_5955031 I was at the PC for this. Great show live. MOTN for me was the opening six man tag. El Legado del Fantasma are really coming together and have been growing on me. Say what you want about the Tian Sha stuff but the crowd ate that up. The match was good as well. Heck, I enjoyed all the matches sans the main event which was way long and honestly featuring a ton of guys who I've already seen do this stuff countless times. I'll revisit the 4 other matches tomorrow to see how they come across on video.
